Influenced by a normally reliable influencer to get this book. The smells were gone after a year except for the disgusting one at the end. A. would still want me to smell it.

Sammy's family is having a Halloween party at his house and the illustration on the other page is something your child can scratch and sniff from a cookie, apple, to even a cat dressed up as a skunk!

My mom gifted my daughter this book back in 2012 and she still loves to read it every year when Halloween rolls around. It’s the story of a boy getting ready for a Halloween party and to go trick-or-treating with his friend. The fun thing is every other page includes a scratch and sniff sticker. You get to smell berry punch, candied apples, spooky cookies, bubblegum and even one special surprise at the end that will definitely leave your child giggling.

This scratch-n-sniff book is a nice simple non-scary book for the toddler set. Nothing great, but nice... and the scratch-n-sniffs are always a big hit. This one even has a skunk!

The smells disappeared quite some time ago. But, still a good book.

Super cute book. Nostalgic for all 80's kids who loved scratch and sniff stickers.

Cute little kids book.

My kids loved the scratch and sniff aspect...they've never experienced scratch and sniff books/stickers before. The story was only okay, but the illustrations were cute.

My sons enjoy this book a lot, especially the scratch and sniff part. Once the scents fade, the story is just ok.

I love the book, but the smells wear off.

Smell worn off on the library's copy of this book. Cute idea though.
